- A black and white photograph of a man and a woman on a busy street corner in Coney Island, New York.

She wears a striped shirt and has a small bag over her shoulder. He wears a hat and sunglasses. Behind them to the left of the image is a restaurant advertising Bar, Bar-b-q, Coca-Cola, and corn on the cob. Behind them to the right are crowds of people on the street, parked cars, and strands of decorative lights strung across the street. A street sign reads "W 12th."
